Happy 2011!

Please forgive me for not posting in a very long time! Writing in my blog is a HUGE challenge for me, and a resolution I need to work hard on in this new year. Now that the New Year is here, I thought I'd blog on a few of my favorite details that I've encountered during my planning experiences in 2010.

Check out these chocolate dipped strawberries with little flags reading, "Life's unpredictable, eat dessert first!"

The adorably, whimsical cake topper (sorry for the tiny picture) was custom made by Nicole Clark. She will customize your miniature you by your wedding attire, hair color and style, skin tone and flowers.

Another one of my favorite things is having a very creative hubby (Gerry Pasqualetti) who comes up with some amazing custom made stationery for my clients including escort/place cards, menu cards, table numbers, seating charts, programs and other requested items . The menu card and strawberry flags above are a couple of his creations in which he created a variation of the emblem that was on their invitation. The program below carries their style on.


What a great idea as a guest book! I loved this when my clients first told me they were using an antique typewriter as their guest book.

I love these directional signs that were made for the guests to know what was where! Casey Brooks was able to capture a butterfly perched on one of the signs!

I love how this bride added these embellishments to her waist line, showing lots of textures and subtle variations of natural hues.


Happy New Year everyone! Make it a great year!

Does a "Day-Of Coordinator" only show up on the wedding day?

"I've done all my own planning and want a "day-of" coordinator but can't find one who will show up on the wedding day only !  Why?" There's probably a lot of confusion amongst engaged couples because of the term "day-of" coordinator. If you end up speaking to someone who says they will only show up on the wedding day and save you lots of money because of it, please stay clear of them! Many wedding planners may label their coordination as "day-of" wedding coordination, but there is far more involved than just showing up on the wedding day when it comes to a professional wedding planner who knows what she/he is doing. Photo Credit: Estes Images Here are some reasons why a wedding coordinator shouldn't show up  only  on the wedding day: Many planners begin their coordination services 4-8 weeks out because many venues request the wedding day timeline one month prior. A 1 1/2 to 2 hour timeline meeting typically kicks off

Answers to Brides Most Frequently Asked Questions

Here we are....Day 6, our final day of answering your most frequently asked questions here are answers to questions 9 and 10! Question 9: When Do We Mail the Invitations.    Traditionally speaking, wedding invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. If you get anxious and mail them 10-12 weeks prior to the wedding, you might be taking a chance with your guests seeing they have plenty of time to respond and put the invitation down with intentions of RSVPing later and then they forget. Only with destination weddings should you mail your invitations 3 months out. Make sure your RSVP date is one month prior to the wedding, allowing you time to call folks who haven't rsvp'd. Part 2: Do We Need to Note the Dress Code on the Invitations?  In many cases your invitation style will depict to your guests how formal your ceremony will be. A beach wedding invitation is going to have a much different style than a more formal, traditional invitation. However, if y
